Went down to a new LGS tonight and was pleasantly surprised. I got a game in with a fairly new player named Sean, who fielded a Lysander SM army that was very difficult to deal with, but all in all I had a great time. I brought the following:

Game ended on 5th turn with a Draw. This is my first time using the Psyker Battle Squad and I have to say that with Lysander's Stubborn rule, it was really underwhelming. I will keep trying this 1500pt list and see what I can accomplish. I really feel it is a good list but I need to get over how fragile the actual army is singly and be more aggressive with the units as a whole.
Great game yesterday, I learned a lot about using my units, especially with my bikes and landspeeders. This was the first night (2nd game) that I used those models. I know I'll make some changes next time. Better deployment and use of my scouts, with more though as to the position of my teleport homer. The two rounds of fire that my Terminators took really hurt. I don't know if I'd agree that the psykers were underwhelming, I just think you had some really horrible dice roles, and Lysander knocking out half of your abilities was unfortunate. I know I was shaking when the 6 AP 1 hits were comming my way. It's certianly an impressive looking army, can't wait to see the third Valkyrie on the board.
